This Weekend: 20th, 21st & 22nd May

Antwerp Art Weekend takes place over all three days. This features special exhibits in numerous galleries, some of which are very well-known in Antwerp, such as MAS and The Red Star line, but crucially, this provides the opportunity to check out the smaller galleries around the city. If you are not sure where to start, check out the routes and tours page of the website, or simply look at what’s on offer and devise your own route. The best way to enjoy Antwerp Art weekend and to get from one gallery to another is by bike. More info (also featured here) on the hyperlink and on Facebook.

Did you know that Antwerp has an annual carnival? It’s called Borgerrio and takes place this Saturday. A lot of the activities and stall will be on the Turnhoutsebaan, but you can check the full programme here. It all kicks off at 2.30 with the Carnival Parade.

Not far away, there’s another party going on in the form of the Damse Feesten, just beyond Park Spoor Noord. This one seems to have a Mexican feel, with music and events occurring around the Twee Netenstraat from midday, and also on the Lange Lobroekstraat.

There will be a big open-air second-hand market on Sint Jansplein from 8.30am -4pm.

If you are in need of some nail glamour, head to the Lak Store between 12 and 6 to get your nails painted for free.

And for something else a bit different, you could cross the river to Linkeroever for this Kite Flying Event between 1pm and 6pm. As well as kite-related events and activities, there will be music, market stalls and other children’s activities.

Or go for a run through Middelheim Museum (open air sculpture park). This is a beautiful park and sculpture museum that is well worth knowing about for summer days outside.
